ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a dry etching method by which a polycide film consisting of a refractory metal silicide layer and a polysilicon layer are stacked one upon the other may be etched with high anisotropy, low pollution, high selectivity and high speed without using flon gases.
According to the method of the present invention, an etching gas containing a fluorine base gas mixed at least with HBr is used for etching the polycide film for realizing anisotropic processing under sidewall protection by a reaction product of mainly the resist material and Br.
Overetching for uniform processing in the wafer plane is performed with the use approximately solely of the fluorine base gas or HBr for realizing a high speed and improving substrate selectivity.
The overetching step is preceded by oxygen plasma treatment for oxidizing the reaction product and intensifying side wall protective effects while improving anisotropy.
Finally, the changes in the emission spectrum intensity during the etching are monitored for determining the end point of etching of the refractory metal silicide layer to enable more accurate setting of the etching conditions.
